Angela Perera

Co-Founder and Board of Director

The idea of marrying activity with technology really appealed to me. I had been looking for a long time for something to help keep me motivated on my own health and weight loss journey. When nothing was available the idea of Walkingspree was born. These days I get my steps in playing tennis and parking far from entrances.

Hiran Perera

(Co-Founder, CEO and Board of Director)

Our vision is to deliver on a quote attributed to Hippocrates – Walking Is Man’s Best Medicine. I walk the talk by maintaining a morning workout routine, walking a mile as part of my daily coffee-break, and I am active by playing club tennis. I encourage my family to be active by hiking with my wife and two sons on weekends.

Lisa Rousseau

(Co-Founder and Board of Director)

As an early adopter of technology and someone who has struggled with my own personal health challenges, I wanted a way to combine wellness with technology. Walkingspree’s vision has gone beyond that in helping people worldwide. I fit in my daily steps by walking my two dogs and cycling all summer long.

Walkingspree has provided me the professional opportunity to incorporate what I love into my day to day work and share that passion with others, physical fitness, technology, and wellness. I am passionate about fitness and health in my personal life too. Anytime I can, I am out walking even if it is for a quick 20 minutes. On my free time though, you will find me hiking and exploring new walking paths and trails.
